LIQUID-FUEL BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent. lutented Feb, 19, 1918.

Application 'led February 21, 1917.

10 4all wlw/mf#'mayV concern? Be it known that I', Gnonon E. Lijmen, a citizen of the Uni-ted States, residing at Pueblo',I in the county of Pueblo and State of' Colorado, have-invented certain new and usefuly Improvements in Li-qui df-F nel Burners, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention'relat'es to improvements in liquid fuel burners, and it consists in the constructions, co1n.binations, -a-ud arrangements hereini described and claimed.

An object of'iny vinvent-ion to provide a liquid fuel burner adapted toany Vordinary cooking 'stovef tol boilers 'of' various types, etc., including a gener-atingpan wherein the liquid fuel is vaporized so that itrnay be burned Without permitting fumes or smoke. v

Other. objects. land advantages will appear from the following specification, reference being Ahad to theaccornpa-nying drawings. formingl a par-t thereof, in Wh-i'ch Figure 1 is aside elevation vvofthe-luu'ner.

Fig. 5 is a top planriew of the structure shown in Fig. 1l.

By referring now more particularly to Figs. I and 41E of the drawings it will be seen that I provide a generatingl pan. 1 which may either be rectangular in configuration as shown in lIli'g` l or circular as shownin Fig. 4. lThe generating cup E2- coinmunicateswith the pan l by=a connecting'l pipe 3.

Disposed inthe generating pau 1 and resting on'leg's 4 is a. yaporizing chamber Liquid fuel is delivered to the vs-iporizing chamber 5 fr'orn fa tank 6 thro-'ugh pipingin which a Valve Sis interposedv so that' thi fuel.. supply .may lie-ent offzat will.
